Nassau, 26 September 2013 - Thomas Radke (52) will be taking over the chair
of the Board of Management of Leifheit AG with effect from 1 April 2014 at

of branded consumer goods.
Helmut Zahn, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Leifheit AG: 'For
Leifheit, Mr Radke brings with him an in-depth knowledge of branded
consumer goods from renowned international brands and management
experience. His skills will therefore provide the ideal basis for further
strengthening the profile of Leifheit brands and thereby securing further
growth. On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to thank
Dr. Claus-Otto Zacharias for his high level of commitment in successfully
assuming interim management of Leifheit AG as the sole managing director.'
